Meet the Locals: Spiders in Utah County

Common House Spider

Alias: The Web Weirdo
Threat Level: Low
A master of patience and dust collection. Harmless but sneaky. Loves corners and neglected window frames. Easy to underestimate.

Wolf Spider

Alias: The Tank
Threat Level: Medium
Big, hairy, and mobile. Doesn’t build webs—hunts on foot. Think of it as the spider version of a surprise SWAT raid on your living room. Fast and full of bad vibes.

Black Widow

Alias: The Widowmaker
Threat Level: HIGH
The crown jewel of the spider underworld. Iconic red hourglass. Venomous. Prefers dark, undisturbed places—like garages, woodpiles, and your nightmares. If spotted, do not engage alone.

Hobo Spider

Alias: The Wanderer
Threat Level: Moderate
Not as aggressive as rumors suggest, but still an uninvited guest with an attitude. Builds funnel webs and shows up where it’s not wanted. A wild card in this eight-legged uprising.

Orb Weaver

Alias: The Architect
Threat Level: Low
A harmless artist with a flair for drama. Builds massive circular webs—often across your porch right at face level (because of course). Totally non-aggressive, but excellent at jump scares.

Yellow Sac Spider

Alias: The Sneak
Threat Level: Medium
Pale yellow. Small. Hangs out in high corners and behind blinds. Known to bite if provoked. Doesn’t spin webs to catch prey—just prowls like a creepy little ninja. Not dangerous, but the bite stings.

Woodlouse Spider

Alias: The Bug Slayer
Threat Level: Low
Reddish body. Fangs like it means business. Found under rocks, mulch, and logs. Feasts exclusively on pillbugs (aka roly-polies). Bites are rare, and it’s technically an ally… but try telling that to your anxiety.

Parson Spider

Alias: The Hitman
Threat Level: Low to Medium
Dark body with a gray racing stripe. No web—just stealth. Fast, elusive, and usually found in bedrooms at 1:00 a.m. Unlikely to bite unless trapped, but it’s not winning any popularity contests.

Why the Spider Army Is Growing

These aren’t random visits. This is organized infiltration. The cooler the weather gets, the more spiders are driven indoors. The more cluttered your space, the more cover they have. You’re not seeing "one or two"—you’re spotting scouts.

The full invasion is imminent.
